With the increased support for Natural HA, allowing mainframe applications to write to the browser through work files of type TRANSFER would give a local print and download capability

    Hi Eli
    Here is feedback from the customer :

    We are trying to reduce the size of the cut over for both technical and user training. The ability to release change before the big bang day significantly reduces risk. We have been following this approach where possible by making the code platform agnostic/aware. I also see this as allowing mainframe clients to move to HA earlier, leveraging some capabilities.

    I don’t however expect this to be achievable in our timescales. It is a hopeful request.
